Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon R7 250 65 Watts
GeForce RTX 2060 Super 175 Watts
Difference: 110 Watts (169%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be 523% faster than the Radeon R7 250 in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 458752 MB/sec
Radeon R7 250 73600 MB/sec
Difference: 385152 (523%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 2060 Super should be much (about 733%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 250. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 199920 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 250 24000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 175920 (733%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce RTX 2060 Super 94080 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 250 8000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 86080 (1076%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
